Our Step-by-Step Office Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or through our online form, giving us basic details: building size, number of staff, existing cleaning arrangements and your preferred cleaning times. We then provide an initial indication of cost and outline of what we recommend.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

Next, we carry out a virtual survey using video call and floor plans, or a full onsite visit in Richmond upon Thames. During the survey we assess floor types, washroom numbers, kitchen facilities, waste arrangements and any security or access requirements. This allows us to propose the correct staffing level, schedule and specification for your building.

3. Preparation & Start of Service

Once you approve the quote, we schedule a start date. We assign a trained cleaning team and supervisor, arrange key holding or access cards if required, and agree alarm procedures and communication methods. On the first clean, the team follows a detailed checklist and we refine it over the first few visits based on your feedback.

Transparent Office Cleaning Pricing

We price office cleaning clearly and fairly, based on:

• Size and layout of the office
• Frequency of cleaning (daily, several times a week, weekly)
• Type of use – standard office, medical, educational, etc.
• Any additional services such as deep cleaning or carpet cleaning

Most contracts are costed on an hourly rate with a minimum visit length, or as a fixed monthly amount agreed in advance. There are no hidden charges; any optional extras are always discussed and confirmed before work begins.

Why Professional Office Cleaners Beat DIY

While some businesses try to manage cleaning in-house, using a professional office cleaning company offers several practical advantages:

• Consistent standards thanks to training, supervision and checklists
• Correct products and methods for different surfaces and floor types
• Reduced sickness absence through structured hygiene and disinfection
• Staff are not distracted from their core roles by cleaning duties
• Clear accountability – if something is missed, we put it right

Our teams use commercial-grade equipment and professional techniques, which are difficult to replicate with occasional in-house cleaning.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Cleaners Richmond upon Thames operates to recognised industry standards and carries comprehensive cover for your peace of mind:

• Public liability cover – protecting you should accidental damage or injury occur during our work.
• Goods in transit insurance – where we transport equipment or materials to and from your premises.
• Trained cleaning teams – all staff receive method, safety and product training before being placed on a site.

We work to clear risk assessments and method statements, follow COSHH regulations for chemicals and maintain detailed site records for every contract.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every workplace with care, protecting your assets and the environment at the same time:

• Using colour-coded cloths and mops to prevent cross-contamination
• Protecting sensitive equipment with dry or low-moisture cleaning methods
• Selecting eco-friendly products where practical, without compromising hygiene
• Using concentrated chemicals with proper dilution to minimise waste
• Encouraging responsible waste and recycling practices on site

Our aim is to keep your Richmond upon Thames office clean, healthy and welcoming while reducing environmental impact wherever we reasonably can.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does office cleaning in Richmond upon Thames cost?

Costs depend mainly on the size of your office, how often you need us, and the level of specification. Smaller offices with weekly cleaning are usually priced on an hourly basis with a minimum visit time, while larger premises are often set up on a fixed monthly contract. Deep cleaning, carpet cleaning or specialist work will be itemised separately. After a short discussion and survey, we provide a clear written quotation so you know exactly what is included and what the regular cost will be.

Can you provide same-day or urgent office cleaning?

Where schedules and staffing allow, we can sometimes arrange same-day or short-notice office cleaning in Richmond upon Thames, especially for one-off emergencies such as spills, accidents or last-minute client visits. Availability will depend on the time of day, the size of your premises and the type of work required. For regular contracts we normally set a start date a few days to a couple of weeks ahead, but we always try to help if you have an urgent situation. It’s best to call us to discuss immediate needs.

Are you insured while working in our office?

Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out. Our cover includes public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage or injury, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials as they travel to and from your office. Staff are trained to work carefully around IT equipment, confidential documents and delicate surfaces. Copies of our insurance certificates can be provided on request, and we are happy to complete any additional security or compliance documentation your organisation may require.

What exactly is included in an office cleaning service?

A standard office cleaning service includes the regular tasks needed to keep your workplace hygienic and presentable: desks and surfaces wiped (where cleared), touch points disinfected, bins emptied, carpets vacuumed, hard floors mopped, and kitchens and toilets thoroughly cleaned. We agree a written specification with you before we start, detailing room by room what will be done and how often. Deep cleaning, interior glass at height, carpet and upholstery cleaning or additional disinfection are available as optional extras and will be listed separately on your quotation.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For ongoing office cleaning contracts, we normally recommend allowing one to two weeks from first enquiry to start date. This gives time for a proper survey, quotation, staff allocation and key or access arrangements. Smaller one-off cleans can sometimes be booked with just a few days’ notice, especially outside peak periods. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a move-in date or refurbishment, please tell us as early as possible so we can plan the team and make sure everything is in place for a smooth start.
